Environmentally friendly oxidizing agents such as hydrogen peroxide or dioxygen can be used today in catalytic versions of the almost one century old Baeyer–Villiger oxidation with transition metal complexes as catalysts. On the right is a sketch of a possible mechanism for this reaction with a platinum catalyst in homogeneous solution.
